It is extended! Thanks, Mommy Rubz! I drafted this post but did not publish it because I was late. Anyway, here is another chance so let me not delay things any further.

I am Mommy Nicquee.

I am happily married to Daddy Mon for almost five years now. We are blessed with two lovely princesses, Ayex, 4yo and Maxyn, 9mo. During my pregnancy, all I read on was about breastfeeding because I really want to give the best milk out there for my kids. Gladly, I am blessed that I am able to breastfeed our girls despite working outside home. I breastfed Ayex until she was three and I am still nursing Maxyn now. Because of this blessing, it became my advocacy to help other moms who choose to breastfeed.

Apart from being a wife and mom, I am also a corporate slave. My primary role is to take care of tuning our internal search engine so that every customer query ends with a solution click. Sounds techie? Not really. But I do have a part of me who is very passionate about techie-things. No, I do not do programming. I just love tinkering around the Internet.

I have been blogging since 2004 but only learned to earn some from it recently. Blogging keeps me sane as I juggle my time being a mom, a wife, a corporate slave and a struggling super sister. Why a struggling super sister? Let me just say that I am still waiting for my siblings to mature more. And while they are in that journey, they need some guide who happens to be me. Blogging is also my way of keeping my social life alive even in a virtual place. My blogs are:

If there is anything you want to ask me, just leave me some notes and I’ll answer them as much as I can.

This is my first time to join Green Monday Meme. I have my own share of preserving Mother Earth’s beauty but I am having a hard time writing about them. Maybe because I do not know where to start. Haha!

Anyway, one of the things I do to help save Mother Earth is I use less paper as much as I can. Working in the corporate world and using less paper may seem impossible but in reality, IT IS POSSIBLE. Last year, I bought a calendar planner because I always forget what date it is already. With that, I sometimes forget that there are upcoming deadlines too. That planner has 12 sheets.

This year, I decided not to buy anymore. Initially, I thought of recycling last year’s but the days are not the same. So I settled with this.

Now there is no date I forget and no deadlines to miss. Plus I save some trees because of my virtual desktop calendar. Oh, I save some ink too!

Maxyn at 9-months is now a. very fast crawler. I bought some big rubber playmats that we placed in our sala so she can crawl there. But like any other curious baby, she now wants to explore the whole place and crawls beyond the mats. We are worried that her knees will become dark due to frequent crawling or worse, she might get bruises. The same worries will be true once she starts learning how to walk.

Ate Meriam told me one time that the baby girl who is just two months ahead of Maxyn has knee pads. She requested that we also buy one for Maxyn to protect her delicate skin from scratches.

We were at Robinson’s Galleria last Saturday. We asked in the dapartment store’s baby section and even on the sports stores if they have infant knee pads but they don’t. Gladly, Nanay and Ate Meriam were at SM North Edsa where they were able to buy infant knee protector for Maxyn. They bought two pairs. That same night, Maxyn tried the green one and crawled endlessly until she reached our room from the sala. She also nearly reached the bath room!
